I got to thinking about what this summer's anthem should be. While nothing sums up sun, fun and goofing off quite like Call Me Maybe did last year, a few formidable contenders have surfaced.

1)
Cruise - Florida Georgia Line featuring Nelly

2)
I Love It - Icona Pop

3)
Lucky - Daft Punk featuring Pharrell

4)
Blurred Lines - Robin Thicke featuring T.I and Pharrell

5)
Closer - Tegan and Sarah

Of all of these, my girls love Cruise, I Love It and Lucky, so those get the most play around here. Closer is catching on and has a fabulous '80s appeal and I just can't get enough of it.

Blurred Lines is a catchy tune worth listening to in its own right. However, the video for this song is something to behold. Robin Thicke (Jason Seaver meets George Michael circa 1991), T.I and Pharrell appear to have a great time dancing with naked women, hash tags and farm animals.
